Sheridan

Am I the only one who was so happy for Nick Sheridan to score that TD? That was a pretty decent run. I mean, I don't want him on the field in real situations any more than the next guy but it was nice to see him do something good.

So when it got called back and he followed it up with that horrible pick I felt just awful. I want to send him a card or something.

I never saw a TD signal and the official on the side of the field that Nick was on (ND side) came in short of the goal line. I know the PA annouced TD but, I never saw a signal and I was nine rows up in that end zone. Did the official on the Michigan side signal TD?

call me crazy but I do not think sheridan was even suposed to enter the game at that time. He came in with his red/blue wristbands still on and had to first find his helmet to go in. Also it looked like tate came off the field tapping his head, i think his shoe may have fallen off. rich rod definately wanted tate to get that ball in the end zone.

All of you are crazy that are defending this guy. He sucked last year and your actually cheering him on when the two freshmen went out and did what they did. No from now on the only thing I want to see in his hands is a clip board and a headset. I never want him on the field again. The pick he threw so reinforced that.

Of course I am cheering him on you idiot. Question the coach's decision to put him in the game, but if he is in there you cheer him on, period. Its people like you that make me want to bring a blunt object to the game to bludgeon people who would cheer against a member of their own team.

I don't see how this was worth -33. I agree with his overall premise; not sure when saying Sheridan sucked became forbidden.

Edit: Additionally, he never said he would root against him. He just said he never wanted to see him on the field, which, like, duh. I can't imagine anyone actually WANTS to see Sheridan on the field ever again. Unless we're up by a ton, but even then, I'd rather get Denard some throws in or something.

Nick did nothing wrong in the snaps he took. He checked us into a great run play with Shaw, then he himself ran with some shifty moves for a TD. Plus as I explained below, I don't think that INT was 100% on him.

No guys, I don't feel bad. The kid is obviously a practice all-star and it doesn't translate into games. Throw the damn ball away or take the sack, don't make another bad read and another bad throw. He's not talented enough to put the ball in the right place on the run like that.

The pocket was closing in on him if he had not of thrown it he would of been sacked and knowing Sheridan possibly a fumble. Very good chance either way it could of been a turnover but I agree that the ball was thrown way behind Matthews

Sheridan is a valuable player for this team. He really seems to have helped the freshman QBs learn the offense, especially Tate. Forcier gives him high praise and says he knows the offense like another coach. Best thing, this next summer he can lead all the off-season workouts and not be breaking any NCAA rules (just like this past summer).

I now completely understand why this blog and others have adorned Nick Sheridan with a long robe and a scythe.

The interception was classic fucking Football 101: Do not run out of the pocket and then throw across you body, especially into the middle of the field. A coach's son ought to know that; a guy who has been at UM for three years ought to know that. I know Nick is not that talented, but it is also upstairs, in football acumen, that he still shows he just don't get it.

And Rich Rod having him in the game, at that point: Advice from my bench on the peanut gallery: HANDOFFS to the running backs or the read option keeper. NO FUCKING PASSING FOR SHERIDAN.

If I see Sheridan dropping back into the pocket one more time while in a Michigan uniform, Rodriguez is going to get a bill for the broken television.

Savoy ran a bad route. Look at it. Nick looked his way first, then had to bail out when nothing was there...later he talked to him on the sidelines about it.

RB and Slot on either side of the field both ran wheel routes. The 2 outside WRs looked like they were supposed to stem upfield and then cut towards the middle on a post/dig. Matthews did, but Savoy didn't. Even if it was an option route, Savoy had the middle of the field wide open to run to.
